TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1927 CONSIDERATION FOR DUMB BRUTES Some instructors feel that final examinations are necessary to canouble them to give their students a fair grade. Others maintain that they give the final only because it is required—thatrecruits and other quiz grades form a fair basis for grading. Perhaps both are right. Whether the final examination is necessary or valuable probably depends upon the course and the instructor's methods. Students have in the past occasionally discovered by various methods that their final examination papers were not even read by the instructor. They spent three nerve-racking hours writing a long examination and all they got in return was the writer's cramp. Sometimes three examinations come on the same day and if the first two are long the third one is bound to suffer. Therefore this plan is respectfully presented; Wc. the students, humbly ask those instructors who feel that a final examination is of little value to make that examination short and snappy for the good of all concerned. FLOOD PERILS AHEAD! Farewell parties ten years from now; Everyone in stait jacketts; spotlights on every couple; music furnished by an old organ or chair; line of chaperones comparable to present day stag line; special make of telescope for each chaperone; blanks for everyone to fill out, swearing that every minute was spent thus and so. FLOOD PERILS AHEAD! The K. U. relief fund has finally passed the three hundred dollar mark. The Kanans feels as if the whole idea had been quite a success, for with the finals, term papers and all the rest to bother the students and faculty, they did mighty well to give the time and money to this cause. But the students and others must realize that the work of the Red Cross has just begun. With the rise of the sun each day some new break in the levees threatens many thousands of acres of America's most valuable land, and makes many people homeless. When the flood recedes and the work of reconstruction starts, the time will come for the rest of the United States to dig down in their pockets and help the Red Cross as they never did before. This is no charity work; it is a peril which is right in our own land. It is one of the greatest catastrophes that has occurred on the American soil since the Civil War. The whole nation must awaken to the fact that these people are Americans who are suffering, and that as all follow countrymen the rest of us must help them through their period of suffering. So if the hat is passed your way again, just run through your mind all these things and then deposit your dollar and enjoy it. Several University students have been observed practicing for an attempt to fly across the ocean, now that they know it can be done. The training stretch seems to be the main drive of the campus, and the only shortcoming is a lack of wings on their cars. Kansas sons glorify the name once more. Kansas athletes bear the name of their native state to high honor again and gain new laurels for the crown of the University. TRACK LAURELS The Missouri Valley track meet was held Saturday, Kansas entered, and Kansas won. In a field of flashy athletes, the Jayhawkers forged to the front to give even greater reason for pride in their University, and Mount Oreo rejoices with them. The Hill is proud. Their praises are forthcoming and all that can be said is lauding the performance of the faithful athletes of the cinders and field will be but a just reward to the days of concessions training they have spent. The list of vocational lectures omitted the one which most of the women come to college for, unless catching a man is included in "The Fine Arts." Store fright against it It was not until he met the crowds on LeBourget that Lindbergh realized the dangers. Lindbergh might lend us his letters of recommendation, since he has no need of them. WE PAUSE All your long students criticize the undeviable features of the campus and endeavor to reform the entire institution. They find fault with the weather, the library service, the posters on the campus, the date rule, the food at the commons, the scarcity of money. They become discompposed and wonder if after all college really is worth while. They criticize Hill politics, the underecared spirit of the campus, bad roads and student fees. And the faculty come in for a goodly portion of the condensation They pop shotgun quizzes at their classes, wait until the last of the instructor to demand term papers don't give definite instructions, son don't get the subject matter across some are drab and uninteresting all habitually hold their chuse over time, and they all give final examinations. But in the rush of these last day when the inevitable pressure of finals is overshadowing everything else in our collegiate lives, we pause to say that there really are a good number of instructors on the Hill who are entirely appreciated. There are some who enjoy being with students, who understand youth and make some allowances for individuals differences without trying to pour us into academic mounds. Some can judge intelligence without the despicable chot-gun, and consider such things an big football games or plays in demanding term papers or scheduling quizzes. Some of them are even human enough to realize that it isn't always your fault if someone forgets to call you and you oversee. A good many are actually "good follows" both in the classroom and outside of school. The fact that a course is difficult has no hearing on the subject so long as the instructor is really giving you something worth while, and so long as he is reasonable in his demands, makes a few allowances for student short comings and there is a friendly spirit of give and take between students and instructors. If both understand that there are a great many things yet to learn and both work for growth and advancement, college is a success. The university men of this generation are content with a fluffer and a lapper. The next generation will defend a plane and a jane. Ex-Premier Kerenky has received another slap by an American, the second since his arrival here. Someone also evidently desires the title of "premier slapper of America." There are some instructors like this, who make us glad we're here, and we pause to thank them. Demonstrating the efficiency of the press. The Kanan protests against senior exams and lo, we have senior exams! UNIVERSITY DAYTON University band will participate in the Memorial Day parade, and are asked to hold themselves in readiness. Participles will be required by the band.

TWILA SHOEMAKER, Secretary Two more shootouts out in Hollywood recently give cause for alarm in Chicago. The Windy City may lose its reputation as a crime center if this keeps up. KAPPA PHI: bers are asked to call for their "Candle Beams" for May, at the So here's a bit of philosophy for the departing senior. "Human wisdom is to live as if one were never to die, and to gather each moment as if it were to be eternal." DESPISED APRON STRINGS Friends one is leaving are not called of much, all those they make a big hole in one's thoughts, for friends are so much a part of oneself. In spite of the thrill in the indolefences of the future, it has its unpleasant moments, too. BEULAH SKINNER, Publicity Manager. Seniors who are leaving their albeit mother's skirts this spring seem rather brave to relinquish their hold on their mother's apron strings. With a braddgadducio air they have strafted before their younger brothers and sisters, telling of the time when no longer will they have to hang on to mother. As the time nears for the actual keeping, apron strings, no matter how blowing they may have seemed, aren't so easy to lose after all. Days, even hot days, are gone too soon when each one brings the end scarer. Rose bushes smell sweet this year before (though it might have been the adventurous season). The yearbook is the best yet, just because it is the last in which the senior gets his picture. And blight if thewhole Hill isn't splurging this spring, thinks the departing senior. At The Concert BY JOHN DAVILEY Lee Greene presented a recital last night that displayed all the technique at his command, but which at the same time was interesting. Four companions, each of a distinct type, were represented and were comprehensively portrayed. The Schumann "Carnival" was one of those "pay your money, not take your choice" affairs, in which the internet could pick out what he liked. There was something in it for everyone, but it is doubtful that very many enjoyed all of it, except in the enjoyment of the plan as a whole. a recent presented selections from the most brilliant of Clinton's work.
